Got to the Cudahy Burger Joint

Purveyors of the burger are popping up all over the place. North side, downtown, western suburbs and now Cudahy!
Will our city soon be know as a place for beer, cheese and burgers?

Although I had the address, google maps and drive by visuals, The Joint is a little difficult to find. The sign is nearly flat to the wall and sort of blends in with the stone exterior of the building. The windows are high up and make it impossible to look inside from in a car or walking by. They are new, the building is old. Maybe the exterior isn't what's important. I'm not going to say that the front door screams let's eat burgers! Once inside, I found myself trying to figure out the decorating scheme. Eclectic? The one wall has a picture of Packard Avenue back in the day. Pretty cool. Then, random things like a guitar made from wire, pictures of Elvis and an old Pepsi clock. Again, just getting going, maybe they weren't able to find all the things they envisioned.

The menu was simple. None of the "build your own" stuff. Just the facts. The waiter was helpful and took our order shortly after we sat ourselves. (near the door to the street) I chose the All American Cheeseburger with fries. Cooked medium.

A short time later, we got our burgers. The bun was nice and shiny from melted butter. I'm already liking this. Big pieces of bacon hanging out the edges of the sandwich. Inside, cooked nearly perfect for my liking. I pinched a piece of just straight meat with a little cheese. I often do this so I can get as close to the true flavors. A little light on the seasoning. Cheese had a classic taste and texture.
Overall, it was good stuff. The price was appropriate.

I was temped to have a shake or malt but was quite full by the time I finished the burger and large order of fries.

I could see myself returning. I might try the blue cheese burger or something a little more crazy.
3.5-4 out of 5.
I didn't get the impression that I was at a "joint" or that the burger was everything. The decor didn't shout "You are in a burger joint". More like Subway sandwiches.
